Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix the flour and water to create a batter.
Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy.
In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water. Add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Toss the baked cauliflower in the orange sauce until well coated.
